...never identified. This incident came only a few weeks after students in Hollis Hall discovered a non-student using one of their showers. Last week, a first-year spotted a strange man leaving her dorm room. He is suspected of taking $80--the contents of her roommate's pocketbook--with him. These three occurrences highlight some of the problems with the current key card policy and prompt us to reiterate our call for universal key card access...
...state's fifth largest city. McGreevey has made up for a lack of statewide name recognition with an energetic campaign focused on the weakest parts of Whitman's record: property taxes and auto insurance. New Jersey's electorate has a habit of choosing its politicians on pocketbook issues.

Aided by a series of confidential memos, Jackson's lawyers showed how Gallo executives, pressured by their demanding chairman Ernest Gallo, took careful aim at the leader of the popularly priced Chardonnay...
...over. I don't see a single important reformer in Latin America." Not unlike the situation in India, the public sees few benefits from the impressive modernization in key countries like Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, as unemployment remains stubbornly high and real wages fall. Warned Rubio: "It's a pocketbook issue, and the pocketbook is getting emptier by the day." With the spirit of deregulation on the wane, the region is vulnerable to a renewed outbreak of what Rubio called "the Latin American disease, the tendency of politicians and bureaucrats to micromanage everything...
